Provides commercial plumbing and mechanical contractors with products and services including bidding and tendering support and timeline planning to assist with their construction projects.

We often serve plumbers and mechanical contractors focused on new commercial construction projects or repair and remodel projects including schools, hospitals, office buildings and hospitality venues. The plumbing contracts are often awarded based on bids from a set of building plans and specifications. For the mechanical contractor, whose primary focus is the heating, cooling and water delivery systems in the building, contracts are awarded based on bids and specifications but also take into account the relationship and service provided when supporting the design of these intricate systems. We also sell to service contractors affiliated with either customer type mentioned above, focused on smaller jobs, remodels and immediate service needs in those building types.

Key products and services:

• Jobsite delivery and logistics
• Quotation services (partnering with customers on bids/tenders)
• Project management
• Plumbing parts and supplies
• Pipe, valves and fittings
• Hangers, struts and fasteners

Serves the residential RMI and new construction sectors with a large proportion of sales through the branch counters. It provides plumbing and sanitary supplies, tools, repair parts and bathroom fixtures to plumbing contractors.

Key products and services:

• Consultation, advice and project management
• Pro pick-up
• Plumbing supplies and water heaters
• Pipe, valves and fittings
• Bathroom fixtures

Sales are typically made to plumbing contractors across both RMI and new construction. RMI contractors usually operate with a small number of vehicles and associates, working on small projects and day-to-day residential repair work. In these instances, their work is awarded based on their availability and the price and severity of the plumbing problem. The business is characterized by high order volumes, though average order size for RMI customers tends to be smaller. New construction contractors work on a range of projects from single homes to mid-sized housing developments and are typically contracted by construction firms. This type of work is usually awarded through a tender process in advance of the project.

We continue to diversify our product offering through multiple brands to attract and retain a larger base of customers and have ensured better national price alignment during the year. We also continue to work on our digital presence providing mobile and inventory management for our customers.

Key products and services:

Sales tend to be part of large planned projects to public and private water authorities, utility contractors, public works/line contractors and heavy highway contractors on residential, commercial and municipal projects across the water, sewer and stormwater management markets.

Municipal customers purchase products to repair their water and sewer systems or for capital improvement projects such as meter systems or pipelines. We sell to utility contractors who tend to focus on water, sewerage and storm drainage construction for residential or commercial construction projects. Water/wastewater treatment plant contractors, which are large regional or national players, typically work on very large long-term capital intensive projects. We also sell to utility pipeline contractors who install and maintain publicly funded water and sewage line projects.
